    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The song performed by Gordon (Scott Grimes) is "Goodbye" (an Air Supply song).
    • Goofs
      About a minute and a half in, you can see on Isaac's right shoulder that the plastic insert has partially fallen out and is sticking instead to the outside of his shoulder pad. It is very clear about 2:15 in, and then it is fixed before Isaac collapses.
    • Quotes

      Lt. Cmdr. Bortus: Yes. But I do not want that piece.

      Lt. Talla Keyali: What's wrong with it?

      Lt. Cmdr. Bortus: I want a corner piece.

      Lt. Talla Keyali: You're kidding?

      Lt. Cmdr. Bortus: I am not. Please cut me a corner piece.

      Lt. Talla Keyali: Because you want a flower?

    WOW
    Like wow, what a heavy episode. The Orville just gets better it seems. Some episodes are great and some are just ok but this one is like awesomely heavy. I don't want to say anything about it except you gotta see it. I can't wait for part 2!

    FAQ2

    • With the exception of Isaac's blue lights, is there any sure way of telling one Kaylon from another?
